Ingredients

Scale

Cold Brew Coffee Layer

  • 1 ½ cups cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional, e.g., Kahlúa)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon cocoa powder, for dusting

Creamy Tiramisu Foam

  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Cold Brew Layer: In a tall glass, combine cold brew coffee, coffee liqueur (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to integrate the flavors evenly.
  2. Make the Tiramisu Foam: In a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, softened mascarpone cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is thick, smooth, and pourable like a soft cloud. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. Pour the Foam Over Coffee: Gently spoon or pour the tiramisu foam over the cold brew coffee, allowing it to float on top and create a layered effect.
  4. Add the Final Touches: Lightly dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chocolate shavings if using, to give it that classic tiramisu finish and extra visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality cold brew coffee for the best flavor impact.
  • Do not overwhip the foam; it should be thick but still pourable.
  • Chilling your glass before assembling improves the refreshment factor.
  • A light dusting of cocoa powder enhances the tiramisu flavor without overpowering.
  • Feel free to customize by adding flavored syrups or caramel drizzle for extra sweetness.
  • Substitute mascarpone with cream cheese or dairy-free alternatives if desired.
  • The tiramisu foam can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • For dairy-free version, use coconut cream and a plant-based mascarpone alternative.
  • Skip coffee liqueur or replace with almond or hazelnut extract for a non-alcoholic option.
